Abstract:
... Information on the life‐history traits of threatened fishes can inform their conservation as they can indicate resilience to environmental change and vulnerability to extirpation and extinction. Garra ghorensis, a small (< 140 mm total length) riverine cyprinid fish, endemic to the southern Dead Sea area, is critically endangered through habitat loss and invasive species. There are, however, no da ...

Abstract:
... Age structure, growth and size at sexual maturity of smallmouth yellowfish, Labeobarbus aeneus (Burchell), were assessed in 2008–2009. Despite its angling and food importance, little has been published on many aspects of its ecology and biology, specifically its age structure in the Vaal River system. Of 193 L. aeneus collected by gillnetting, 96 were assessed for sexual maturity, and ages were es ...

Abstract:
... Mating between different species is ubiquitous in nature. While environmental conditions and population density have been shown to affect the occurrence of heterospecific matings, much less is known about the potential role of individual characteristics. Here, we examined the association between boldness and mate choice to con- and heterospecifics in a cyprinid fish (Pseudaspius sachalinensis) whi ...

Mating systems with males larger than females occur when males compete for female access or guard territories, while mating systems with group mating tend to occur in species where females are the same size or larger than males. In addition to variation in SSD with mating system, sperm competition varies among mating systems ...

Abstract:
... Diets were examined and analyzed for 418 wintering Double-crested Cormorants (Phalacrocorax auritus) collected from January to mid-April 2001 and October to December 2001 at an oxbow lake in southeast Arkansas. The fish community was also sampled to examine prey availability. Gizzard Shad (Dorosoma cepedianum) and Yellow Bass (Morone mississippiensis) were the most important species in cormorant d ...

Abstract:
... In July and August 2010, the Lincoln-Petersen capture-recapture method was used to assess the size and basic structure of a newly established population of the endangered in Poland cyprinid fish lake minnow, Eupallasella percnurus (Pall). The population that inhabits a small (0.08 ha) peat excavation site in the village of Kowalicha near Radzymin (Mazowieckie Voivodeship, Poland) was initiated in ...

Abstract:
... This study presents the first ethological description of the reproductive behaviour of the cyprinid Squalius pyrenaicus, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula. The behavioural pattern of this endangered species during the breeding season is non-communal and includes the preparation of a spawning pit (depressions in the substratum) by males, a behaviour not described for Iberian cyprinids so far but alr ...

Abstract:
... In the context of ensuring bio resources for future generations, scientific research of carp culture have shown that it can realize high meat production, if it respects certain conditions of race performance and the growth medium. The genetic improvement objective is to increase meat production, based on maximizing meat production per female of breeding stock. Estimation of genetic progress using ...

Abstract:
... Lontra canadensis (River Otter) have been reintroduced throughout much of their former range in North America, but our understanding of the function they serve in ecosystems to which they have been reintroduced remains incomplete. We examined the winter diet of reintroduced River Otters in Kentucky based on contents of 126 stomachs collected over three trapping seasons, 2006–2009. Fish and crayfis ...

Abstract:
... BACKGROUND: Aquatic habitats have been altered over the past century due to a variety of anthropogenic influences. Ecomorphology is an area of aquatic ecology that can both directly and indirectly assess the effects of habitat alterations on organisms. However, few studies have explored long term trends in morphological variation. Long term changes in morphology can potentially impact niche and ul ...

Abstract:
... The Tor genus belongs to the group of cyprinid fish commonly known as mahseer. Although Tor species are rapidly declining in the wild, and some face extinction, ambiguities in species identification hinder their collection and conservation. We conducted a genome survey of male and female Tor tambra collected in Thailand. The genome sizes of the male and female fish were approximately 1,671 and 1,6 ...

Abstract:
... Hematological parameters of fish are useful for diagnosing pathophysiological conditions associated with metabolic perturbations in fish and therefore act as a non-specific biomarker of acute and chronic stress in the natural habitat and in aquaculture. Salmonid fish are of great importance in aquaculture; however, hematological studies of these species are scarce. This study presents the first se ...
